"
Lupin
said
,
quite
irritably
:
"
You
do
n't
understand
.
I
sold
your
#
20
shares
for
#
2
;
you
therefore
lose
#
18
on
the
transaction
,
whereby
Cummings
and
Gowing
will
lose
the
whole
of
theirs
.
"
February
19
.
--
Lupin
,
before
going
to
town
,
said
:
"
I
am
very
sorry
about
those
Parachikka
Chlorates
;
it
would
not
have
happened
if
the
boss
,
Job
Cleanands
,
had
been
in
town
.
Between
ourselves
,
you
must
not
be
surprised
if
something
goes
wrong
at
our
office
.
Job
Cleanands
has
not
been
seen
the
last
few
days
,
and
it
strikes
me
several
people
do
want
to
see
him
very
particularly
.
"
In
the
evening
Lupin
was
just
on
the
point
of
going
out
to
avoid
a
collision
with
Gowing
and
Cummings
,
when
the
former
entered
the
room
,
without
knocking
,
but
with
his
usual
trick
of
saying
,
"
May
I
come
in
?
"
He
entered
,
and
to
the
surprise
of
Lupin
and
myself
,
seemed
to
be
in
the
very
best
of
spirits
.
Neither
Lupin
nor
I
broached
the
subject
to
him
,
but
he
did
so
of
his
own
accord
.
He
said
:
"
I
say
,
those
Parachikka
Chlorates
have
gone
an
awful
smash
!
You
're
a
nice
one
,
Master
Lupin
.
How
much
do
you
lose
?
"
Lupin
,
to
my
utter
astonishment
,
said
:
"
Oh
!
I
had
nothing
in
them
.
There
was
some
informality
in
my
application
--
I
forgot
to
enclose
the
cheque
or
something
,
and
I
did
n't
get
any
.
The
Guv
.
loses
#
18
.
"
I
said
:
"
I
quite
understood
you
were
in
it
,
or
nothing
would
have
induced
me
to
speculate
.
"
Lupin
replied
:
"
Well
,
it
ca
n't
be
helped
;
you
must
go
double
on
the
next
tip
.
"
Before
I
could
reply
,
Gowing
said
:
"
Well
,
I
lose
nothing
,
fortunately
.
From
what
I
heard
,
I
did
not
quite
believe
in
them
,
so
I
persuaded
Cummings
to
take
my
#
15
worth
,
as
he
had
more
faith
in
them
than
I
had
.
"
Lupin
burst
out
laughing
,
and
,
in
the
most
unseemly
manner
,
said
:
"
Alas
,
poor
Cummings
.
He
'll
lose
#
35
.
"
At
that
moment
there
was
a
ring
at
the
bell
.
Lupin
said
:
"
I
do
n't
want
to
meet
Cummings
.
"
If
he
had
gone
out
of
the
door
he
would
have
met
him
in
the
passage
,
so
as
quickly
as
possible
Lupin
opened
the
parlour
window
and
got
out
.
Gowing
jumped
up
suddenly
,
exclaiming
:
"
I
do
n't
want
to
see
him
either
!
"
and
,
before
I
could
say
a
word
,
he
followed
Lupin
out
of
the
window
.
For
my
own
part
,
I
was
horrified
to
think
my
own
son
and
one
of
my
most
intimate
friends
should
depart
from
the
house
like
a
couple
of
interrupted
burglars
.
Poor
Cummings
was
very
upset
,
and
of
course
was
naturally
very
angry
both
with
Lupin
and
Gowing
.
I
pressed
him
to
have
a
little
whisky
,
and
he
replied
that
he
had
given
up
whisky
;
but
would
like
a
little
"
Unsweetened
,
"
as
he
was
advised
it
was
the
most
healthy
spirit
.
I
had
none
in
the
house
,
but
sent
Sarah
round
to
Lockwood
's
for
some
.
February
20
.
--
The
first
thing
that
caught
my
eye
on
opening
the
Standard
was
--
"
Great
Failure
of
Stock
and
Share
Dealers
!
Mr.
Job
Cleanands
absconded
!
"
I
handed
it
to
Carrie
,
and
she
replied
:
"
Oh
!
perhaps
it
's
for
Lupin
's
good
.
I
never
did
think
it
a
suitable
situation
for
him
.
"
I
thought
the
whole
affair
very
shocking
Lupin
came
down
to
breakfast
,
and
seeing
he
looked
painfully
distressed
,
I
said
:
"
We
know
the
news
,
my
dear
boy
,
and
feel
very
sorry
for
you
.
"
Lupin
said
:
"
How
did
you
know
?
who
told
you
?
"
I
handed
him
the
Standard
.
He
threw
the
paper
down
,
and
said
:
"
Oh
I
do
n't
care
a
button
for
that
!
I
expected
that
,
but
I
did
not
expect
this
.
"
He
then
read
a
letter
from
Frank
Mutlar
,
announcing
,
in
a
cool
manner
,
that
Daisy
Mutlar
is
to
be
married
next
month
to
Murray
Posh
.
I
exclaimed
,
"
Murray
Posh
!
Is
not
that
the
very
man
Frank
had
the
impudence
to
bring
here
last
Tuesday
week
?
"
Lupin
said
:
"
Yes
;
the
'
Posh
's
-
three-shilling-hats
'
chap
.
"
We
all
then
ate
our
breakfast
in
dead
silence
.
